Nanaimo man sentenced to five years for sexual assault
Terms drafted for review of city services
BY KARL YU THE NEWS BULLETIN
A man who pleaded guilty to a pair of violent sexual assaults received a five-year jail sentence in Nanaimo provincial court Tuesday. Timothy James Wyslouzil, 45, was arrested in May 2014 and charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm, sexual assault using a weapon, theft of a motor vehicle and evading police in the May 2014 incident. He was also charged with choking with attempt to assist in sexual assault, theft of a motor vehicle and unlawful confinement for a similar incident a month earlier. Wyslouzil is credited for 25 months and will serve 35 months. He is required to register as a sex offender and provide a DNA sample. A two-year driving ban and 10-year weapons ban were also imposed. Wyslouzil had struggles with cocaine and alcohol, according to Stephen Taylor, Wyslouzil’s lawyer. In April 2014, Wyslouzil had consumed alcohol and was given a ride from a woman he met in a bar, whom he later sexually assaulted, according to Judge Ron Lamperson’s ruling. After the woman stopped the car, Wyslouzil reached into a bag and pulled out a shoelacelike item, wrapped it around the victim’s neck and raped her. See ‘ALCOHOL’ /5

I always use my step ladder because I’ve never got along with my real ladder.
Nanaimo city council is one step closer to a core review. The Core Services Review Steering Committee, made up of politicians, has signed off on a draft request for proposal, scope and goal for the review which is now expected to cost more than $200,000. The committee agreed Monday to the RFP, with minor tweaks around having a vendor-proposed timeline and separate prices for items in the terms of reference. The review itself will be of all city services and programs, including those funded by the city, the methods of delivery, costs and revenues. Roshan Danesh, a consultant hired to work with the core services committee, also pointed that because of the scope of the RFP, he expects it will cost more and take longer than originally estimated – costing more than $200,000 and taking eight to 12 months instead of between four and six. Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay said the review is going to be very extensive and broad. “This is probably going to be the largest core review B.C. has ever seen.” He called the committee’s recent decision to move ahead a big deal, although he said that council still has to carry on with its business. Some councillors wanted to hold off on recent decisions, such as automating the garbage fleet or in-house parking, to wait for the review.
